2017 MINI COUNTRYMAN1.5L Petrol

The 2017 MINI Countryman presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 July 2025 at 34,673 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of annual examinations. Prior passes on 23 July 2024 at 30,785 miles and 11 July 2023 at 25,787 miles likewise showed no advisories. The single blemish is a fail on 10 July 2023 at 25,780 miles, reversed the next day with a pass at 25,787 miles and no defects logged either time, indicating a clerical or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 34,673 against nine years of age, an average of roughly 3,850 miles per year. The DVSA data shows steady low accumulation: 21,991 miles in July 2022, 25,787 by July 2023, 30,785 in July 2024, and 34,673 in July 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. Such light use over a long period suggests the car spent intervals standing, which can age tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes through inactivity even where the record stays clean. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumables and hidden corrosion. The MOT history flags nothing on suspension arms, coil springs, brake calipers, or structural integrity, but low-mileage cars often conceal perished rubber mounts and surface rust beneath sills. Check tyre sidewalls for cracking from standing and confirm brake discs are free of pitting. Given the absent advisories across five tests, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance. The 2023 same-week fail-and-pass without recorded defects points to administrative handling, not deferred maintenance. Treat the vehicle as mechanically sound on paper, subject to a hands-on check of age-related wear.
